Yup, you got it. I find them utterly revolting and think that the 
only good use would be in a peep shoot. YYMV.

They have all sorts of seasonal variations. They started out as 
"peeps" because they are flat marshmallow yellow chickies. They make 
them in other shapes and colors now. Without any socially redeeming 
value, IMNSHO.

peeps are only slightly better than "circus peanuts" (gag). Do they 
still make them? I hope not.

I did eat a couple toasted marshmallows at March Crown. I may be a 
curmudgeon, but my consort toasted them to perfection, so how could i 
refuse? And when they weren't perfect, he ate them :-)
